8,400 high-resolution images of the moon and missions,
astronauts took during NASA’s Apollo Missions of the 1960s
have been published, the collection includes every photo the astronauts took on
the lunar surface with their chest-mounted Hasselblad cameras along with
numerous other Hasselblad photos shot from Earth and lunar orbit, as well as
during the journey between the two,
"Around 2004, Johnson Space Center began re-scanning
the original Apollo Hasseelblad camera film magazines, and Eric Jones and I
began obtaining TIFF (uncompressed, high-resolution) versions of these new
scans on DVD," said Kipp Teague, the man behind Project Apollo Archive, "These images were processed for inclusion on our websites, including
adjusting color and brightness levels, and reducing the images in size to about
1000 dpi (dots per inch) for the high-resolution versions."
unlike many of the images from the Apollo missions released
to the public till now these were not handpicked to show only
the best shots,
because of this, you
will find many washed out and blurry photos sitting alongside stunning lunar
vistas and iconic moonwalking photos, these are just a few of the 8,400 images if you have time take a look at a few more, they are literally out of this world!
